I can't name a specific recommendation, but there are plenty of hotels around Ullswater, which is a particularly wonderful part of the Lakes for a romantic weekend.

The "best" hotels (certainly the most expensive) are The Sharrow Bay on Ullswater and The Samling above Windermere. But why not try self catering, but cheat by eating out in good restaurants. Our favourite restaurant is Lucy's on a Plate in Ambleside - bags of atmosphere and really good food (need to book well ahead though as very popular). For the best self catering in Ambleside look at www.rookerycottages.com If you want to do some offroad routes whilst you are there, or even some good on road routes that play to the Disco's strengths, let me know and I'll send a few suggestions....
